June 8, 2024, New York, NY—Senbere Teferi accomplished a three-peat at the Mastercard New York Mini 10k.  Teferi won her third straight with a 30:47 win.  She had company for most of the race, with 2022 NYC Marathon champ Sharon Lokedi and Sheila Chepkirui, both of Kenya, running in a three-woman pack.   On a downhill at 5.4 miles, Teferi surged and broke the race open to win by 17 seconds.

Sharon Lokedi was second in 31:04.  Sheila Chepkirui was third in 31:09.

Amanda Vestri of Boone, NC was fourth and top American in 31:17.  Jessica McClain of Phoenix was fifth in 31:42. The elite field was extremely competitive, witnessing the fight between Emily Durgin of Flagstaff, AZ and Annie Frisbie of Burnside, MN for sixth overall and third American.  Both fought hard to the line and were timed at 31:49, with Emily getting there by an inch or two for sixth.

Master stars included two-time Mini 10K champ Sara Hall of Flagstaff, AZ who was 11th in 32:14 and top master.  Olga Firsova of Australia was 18th in 33:19 and second master.  Legendary marathoner Edna Kiplagat of Kenya (and Longmont, CO) was 21st and third master in 34:03.

The 52nd running of the Mastercard New York Mini 10k had 9,688 finishers. The name “mini” comes from the mini-skirt, popular when the race started in 1970’s (not mini, as shorter than the marathon, half-marathon etc.).  The race started on Central Park West at 89th Street and entered Central Park at 72nd street and circled the park, with a nice sunny spot for photos on the 72nd street transverse.
